Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically
focus on its first half--when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism
dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's
death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a
period of stagnation and decline. But Frederick Beiser argues that
the second half of the century was in fact one of the most
revolutionary periods in modern philosophy because the nature of
philosophy itself was up for grabs and the very absence of
certainty led to creativity and the start of a new era. In this
innovative concise history of German philosophy from 1840 to 1900,
Beiser focuses not on themes or individual thinkers but rather on
the period's five great debates: the identity crisis of philosophy,
the materialism controversy, the methods and limits of history, the
pessimism controversy, and the Ignorabimusstreit. Schopenhauer and
Wilhelm Dilthey play important roles in these controversies but so
do many neglected figures, including Ludwig Buchner, Eugen Duhring,
Eduard von Hartmann, Julius Fraunstaedt, Hermann Lotze, Adolf
Trendelenburg, and two women, Agnes Taubert and Olga Pluemacher,
who have been completely forgotten in histories of philosophy. The
result is a wide-ranging, original, and surprising new account of
German philosophy in the critical period between Hegel and the
twentieth century.
